Sorry about my absence of late. Hit a rough patch and had to do some recovery time. Life has been getting in my way and I've let a few things slide as long as I could.

Last post I said something about not missing deadlines, ever, and now I'm about to miss a deadline. Swell.Well, priorities have to be set and sanity must be maintained... or something like that.Anyway, I'm going to have to take a break from the comic for a week or two to finish up some of the product I'm going to try and peddle at the CONduit sci-fi convention in Salt Lake later G.L.

Ever. I used deadlines to keep me moving, keep me from getting stuck on some bit of minutia that nobody else would likely notice or care about. I figure that I could never be a 'fine' artist simply because if I didn't have deadlines, I would never finish anything. I would just G.L.

I sincerely thank all who participated in this weird little experiment of mine and sent me photos. I had a lot of fun doing this and will probably do it again. One of the great things I got out of this is becoming acquainted with some cool people and their web-ventures, like Sean Kleefeld and his fine blog Kleefeld on Comics, and Garrett WilliamsG.L.

Hooray! What kind of Hell would be most appropriate for the sociopaths who would create and release malware? Such behavior seems akin to random violence of a sort.

Thursday before last, my main computer decided it would just restart whenever it felt like it. Soon it just kept restarting in a continuous loop. So I spent the rest of the day and a good portion of the weekend fighting this and trying to determine the cause of this sudden attitude change in my dear workmate.

The first of the five 'books' in this story will be up on Monday the 26th of January. I will begin posting the second chapter in a week or three, but in the meantime I would like to keep posting something on WebComicsNation.

I'm sorry to say that problem probably won't be remedied anytime soon.

Here is what happened:1. I decided a series of four pages would be much improved if completely reworked into three and found myself starting over on these pages. Sure enough, they are far better, if somewhat rushed.2. Living very near nowhere, (Skull Valley is just over the mountain from me, G.L.

I have been absent for way to long. But a lot has been happening. A little while back, I was invited to post some samples from the comic on a new webcomic social site based in Milan called Oltrecomics. I was even more flattered when I saw the quality of the other stuff there! WOW. A large percentage of the work there so far (it is still relatively new) is definitely pro caliber. G.L.

Not that it seems longer in a bad way. My sense of time is highly subjective and I've pretty much been living the Sgt. and Prof. since the semester ended.
